Well done Brighton

[Andy1981_2]

A bad result for NUFC but you have to admire a Championship team playing in the PL that beats one of the big 6 and wins precious points. Brighton are now 5 points clear of us. Obviously they weren't paralysed with fear at playing one of the top 6 teams, whether in form or not. They must have played to win not to minimise the margin of defeat. All this without a world class manager.

There's no need to be passive-aggressive - just man up and start another anti-Rafa thread. It's not like there aren't loads of them on here already, or like EVERY thread is dragged into the same old ****e discussion by the same few people.

We could say the same about you.

Sure, but you'd be wrong.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Ghostwilf, you only need to read Andy's last post on thread Any positives to "swallow your words"

No, the arguement is that there were 3 teams imploding hence we wont go down.

If he hadnt bought Joselu the accusations would have been why not take a chance on this guy as we needed a striker.. but he turned out to be shoite so the accusation is he shouldnt have bought him at all .. Rafa cant win on the transfer debate , damned if he does and damned if he doesnt.

The fact he has been right royally shafted by Ashley seems to be forgotten by some. He no doubt will be leaving in May and we can attract curbishley or the like or Pardew again . The only blame i put on Benitez is that he was stupid enough to fall for Ashleys patter .

He'll not make that mistake again.

Nope. Even if we stay up-and that's still a massive 'if' then he'll be off unless the takeover happens almost straight away.

And no-one could blame him.

I dont understand the lack of transfer spend.. spend £100m to keep us safe , instead of going down and spending the same to get us out of the chimpo again. .. mind you if we survive with no spend its a job done for Ashley .. he likes a gamble i`ll give you that.

I don't think there will be a takeover (he's asking too much) and if there is (involving the Reuben brothers) be afraid !
